Snakes are actually considered and categorized as a pest species because of the people’s fear of the animal. The following includes the most common complaints:

Snakes living under deck or home

Snakes found in the swimming pool

Snakes on property or in the yard

Concern for the pets’ safety

Snakes inside the home

Because of these, a lot of people wish to have these nuisance reptiles be removed. In addition to that, they are very difficult to trap, and because of this, they are being removed by tong or hand. In this case, it is best that you hire a professional snake control and removal service in order to make sure that you’ll have a successful and safe snake trapping and control.

Snake Biology

There is a lot of snake species to document. Most facts that are common to all snakes is that they have no eyelids. As a matter of fact, they all smell through their tongues, by snapping their fork-like tongue out and trying to taste the air with their Jacobsen’s organ. They are obviously carnivorous by nature. Few of these snakes give birth to their young ones but most of them lay eggs. One legend about these snakes is that, it is poisonous if it has a triangular head. Obviously, this is just a myth for almost all snakes have triangular heads. And, as reptiles, their temperature is being controlled by the temperatures of the surrounding. In fact, sometimes they will sunbathe to their temperatures. Most snakes actually prefer to hide under cool places. All snakes are basically carnivores, and because they cannot chew their preys, they swallow them whole. The pee and poo have the same hole.

Snake Behavior

The most important thing to know about snakes is that, most of them are not poisonous and kind of none of them are naturally aggressively. It is true. Nos snake will attack you nor slither up to you. Most of them will run, however some of them will defend their ground. If you leave them alone, it will also leave you alone. That is how it works for a lot of animals. The snakes live in a large different of habitats. Some are aquatic, some are great climbers. Aside from that, some are extremely patient when catching their preys as well. They will be silent for a long time, sit still, then afterwards when a potential prey is beyond reach, they dive. Some kill by constriction, some by venom. Others just eat and grab bugs.

Nuisance Concerns

The most important concern seems to be the fear of the snakes or the ophidiophobia which most people have. It is a common fear and I have seen these many times. I have also seen people cowering up on the chairs at the same time shaking. It is irrational but actually real for most people. Even for people without the ophidiophobia, snakes are really very disturbing in nature. Oftentimes, it is just a matter of inexperience that people do not usually recognize which snakes are totally venomous and which are non-venomous, so they’re just being too cautious on all snakes. The snakes inhibit in a lot of ecological niches, and oftentimes around the human buildings. As a matter of fact, they will crawl into screened porches, swimming pools and most of the time, to your home itself.
